SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Responding to peer-review comments for Nature-family and other high-impact journals requires answering every reviewer concern with traceable manuscript changes, professional tone, and zero fabricated evidence, which is time-consuming and error-prone to do manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Response Drafting: Splits reviewer comments into stable IDs (R1.1, R2.1), classifies each by severity and category, and drafts an editor-readable point-by-point response letter with a strategy summary and change checklist. - Draft Auditing and Revision: Audits existing rebuttals for missing responses, defensive tone, unsupported claims, or untraceable manuscript changes, then rewrites them into professional language. - Bilingual Support: Accepts Chinese reviewer comments and author notes, producing English response letters with Chinese confirmation notes (中文核对) for unresolved actions. - Use Case: You receive a major revision decision where Reviewer 1 requests validation in an independent cohort and Reviewer 2 challenges your causal claims. The skill builds a comment-response tracker, drafts responses mapped to real manuscript locations, and flags missing evidence as AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED instead of inventing results. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to draft a point-by-point response letter for the attached reviewer comments and editor decision letter, including a strategy summary and a list of missing information I still need to supply.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-response

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a point-by-point response to reviewers for a journal revision?

Provide the reviewer comments, editor decision letter, and your author notes describing what you changed. The skill assigns stable IDs to each comment, drafts responses mapped to manuscript locations, and returns a strategy summary, tracker, letter, and change checklist.

How to respond to a reviewer asking for experiments I cannot perform?

The skill handles out-of-scope requests by acknowledging the scientific value, explaining the study-design boundary, softening the claim, and adding a limitation. It avoids citing time, funding, or convenience as the primary reason.

Can I use Chinese reviewer comments or author notes for the response letter?

Yes, the skill accepts Chinese reviewer comments, author notes, and mixed inputs. It drafts the final response letter in English and adds a concise Chinese confirmation section listing unresolved actions and high-risk items.

What happens when my author notes are vague or missing evidence?

Vague notes like "we fixed it" are marked AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED with specific questions about what changed and where. The skill never invents experiments, statistics, citations, line numbers, or figure panels, and labels the package readiness honestly.

Does this handle appeals against a rejection decision?

Appeal-like cases are routed separately from normal revision responses. The skill identifies disputed points but does not draft a full appeal letter by default, since appeals follow different journal-specific rules than point-by-point revision responses.
